Soccer: Maxed-out ball control, the skill is too overpowered.

Chapter 80: Europe's Strongest Devilish Home Ground!

"Holy crap? It's that lively?"

Since becoming a professional player, Lu Xiao has experienced many well-known home stadiums in Europe.

For example, Manchester United's Old Trafford and Bayern Munich's Allianz Stadium.

The experience of playing at the home stadiums of these two top clubs is truly extraordinary.

Playing football here as a guest, you can feel the pressure coming from all directions, making it hard to breathe.

The reason why wealthy families are wealthy families is because...

A glorious past provides home fans with ample confidence and strength.

This confidence and self-assurance will also be reflected in the atmosphere and energy of the crowd during the competition.

This provides a constant source of courage and motivation for the home team.

This creates significant psychological pressure on the away team.

Just like Liverpool's home ground, Anfield, the players' tunnel entrance itself serves as a reminder to opponents:

"This is Anfield."

The invisible contest has already begun, starting with these details.

Lu Xiao had also heard of the legends of Westphalia, which was said to be one of the most terrifying stadiums in Europe.

He thought it would be at most the level of Manchester United's Old Trafford.

At Old Trafford, a stadium with over 7 people, the deafening boos were unbearable for anyone.

However, upon actually arriving at Signal Iduna Stadium, which fans commonly refer to as "Westvale,"

Lu Xiao finally understood what "devil's home field" meant.

"Wow! How many people are on this court again?"

"What?"

"I said, how many people are in this stadium!"

"Around 81,000..."

Even Captain Rolfes was secretly astonished, his face turning pale.

During the pre-match warm-up training, an hour before the game, the stands were already filled with yellow and black fans.

"Heja BVB! Heja BVB!"

"Heja Heja, Heja BVB!"

The singing was synchronized, and the fans were well-trained.

Lu Xiao truly felt the power of the largest "devil's home stadium" in all of Europe!

I had to shout to talk to Captain Rolfes just now, otherwise he couldn't hear me at all.

In comparison, the Bayer Arena, which only holds a little over 5 people, seems rather shabby.

Accompanying Leverkusen on their journey to the away game were 2000 away fans, who gathered in the away stands to try and make some noise to cheer on Lu Xiao and his team.

As a result, all you could see were fans singing, but what they were actually singing was completely drowned out by the noise from the home stands.

If that's all there is to it, it probably wouldn't be enough to call it a "devil's home ground".

The moment starting player Lu Xiao walked into the player tunnel with the team.

The enormous screen in the south grandstand was incredibly impactful, captivating Lu Xiao from the eyes to the soul!

This is the most famous TIFO culture in Westphalia.

Facing you is a giant skull tens of meters high, topped with the yellow Dortmund team crest.

Below is another line of large text:

"Welcome to Hell!"

Lu Xiao could even feel that Son Heung-min in front of him was so shocked by this scene that his legs went weak and his body swayed slightly.

Good guy!

So you're starting with a mental attack, huh?

……

Coach's bench

Sasha and Hypia looked worried.

At the pre-match press conference, they both appeared very confident in front of the media.

Privately, I'm still quite uncertain.

"Can the lads hold on? After all, this is Westphalia."

"It should be fine, right? It's not the first time we've played against Dortmund, including Son. He played against Dortmund several times before in Hamburg, so he should be quite used to it."

"What should we do with Lu? This is the kid's first time playing away against Dortmund."

Sasha was most worried about Lu Xiao.

In other teams, talented young players might be able to deliver outstanding performances in regular games,

In tough battles, it's often the veterans who have to hold the fort.

Sasha feared that Lu Xiao would be intimidated by the home crowd and unable to unleash his full potential.

Hyypia smiled:

"After all this time, you still don't understand Lu. He's a typical show-off."

The bigger the scene, the better he performs.

"I hope so."

beep—

The pre-match ceremony had already been completed while the two were chatting.

The home team, Borussia Dortmund, won the coin toss and kicked off first.

Leverkusen needs to temporarily withstand their opponent's offensive.

……

"CCTV, CCTV, viewers, this is a live commentary on the 15th round of the 2013-2014 Bundesliga season's key matches."

Borussia Dortmund, currently ranked 3rd, will host Bayer Leverkusen, ranked 2nd.

The team wearing yellow jerseys and black shorts is Borussia Dortmund, and the team wearing red away jerseys is Bayer Leverkusen…

CCTV certainly wouldn't miss such a high-profile match.

At 22:00, CCTV5 will broadcast this key Bundesliga match live.

Many fans have been eagerly awaiting this day of the "battle of the second-place teams."

Many "Leverkusen longtime fans" showed up uninvited, nervously watching the television screen.

While Lukakusen is strong, Leverkusen's overall strength on paper is really inferior to Dortmund's.

From the perspective of domestic fans, this is definitely going to be a tough battle!

Dortmund didn't launch a furious attack at the start, as they were still wary of Leverkusen's sharp counter-attacks.

Therefore, Dortmund temporarily controlled the ball around the center circle, trying to find a weakness.

Commentator Duan Xuan could now rebroadcast the starting lineup to the fans who had just opened the elevator.

"Let's take a look at Dortmund's starting lineup first."

Klopp deployed the classic 4-3-3 formation.

Goalkeeper: Weidenfeller;

The four defenders lined up in a row: Piszczek, Subotic, Hummels, and Schmelzer;

Midfielders: Kjaer, Sven Bender, Gundogan;

The attacking trio consists of Reus, Lewandowski, and Mkhitaryan.

With the departure of key player Mario Götze from last season's season to Bayern Munich

The arrival of Mkhitaryan in the new season has improved the creativity of the forward line.

Whether they can develop good chemistry with Lewandowski today will be the key to Dortmund's attack.

"Looking at Bayer Leverkusen, the young Chinese player Lu Xiao continues to start."

At just 16 years old, he's already the Bundesliga's top scorer with 15 goals, far surpassing Lewandowski's 10.

Looking at Leverkusen's lineup, they still use a 4-4-1-1 system.

Goalkeeper Leno;

Defenders: Donati, Spašić, Toprak, Bonisch;

Midfielders: Robbie Kruse, Lars Bender, Rolfes, Son Heung-min;

The forward duo is Kiessling, partnered with Lu Xiao.

Today's guest is Coach Gong Lei, who has high hopes for Lu Xiao's performance.

"At his age, Lu Xiao has managed to score 15 goals in 14 Bundesliga matches, making him an absolute key player in Leverkusen's attack."

His creativity is what Leverkusen currently lacks most.

The chemistry he showed with Son Heung-min was also crucial.

Klopp will definitely make arrangements to counter the strength of the attack down the left flank...

Before Coach Gong could finish his analysis, a sudden change occurred on the field.

Reus' shot was saved by the goalkeeper, and Leverkusen launched a counter-attack.

Rolfes was just about to turn and pass the ball to Son Heung-min on the left wing when...

As a result, he regretted it the moment he kicked the ball.

Dortmund's high press was quite deadly; Sven Bender intercepted a pass and launched a through ball into the attacking third!

Sven Bender, Gündoğan!! Beautiful!!

Gundogan's lob pass!

Lewandowski—

In just the third minute of the match, Lewandowski held off Spahic in the penalty area and fired a shot into the net!

"Goal! Dortmund have a dream start! 1-0 lead!"

"Lewandowski's goal! That was so easy!"

Duan Xuan was completely numb from staring.

Ouch! What are you doing?!

Can Bayer Leverkusen's midfield and defense still hold up?

After scoring, Klopp sprinted 30 meters in celebration, showing that he was under a lot of pressure.

The director then focused the camera on Lu Xiao's face.

Even after conceding the goal, the boy's eyes remained resolute.

Perhaps the director is trying to convey another concept to fans around the world.

"If Leverkusen wants to turn things around, this man might really be the key!"
